save the Bois Dentelle

The Bois Dentelle is a truly beautiful tree; sadly there are only two of these trees in existence today (both in Mauritius).

This 
tree is not huge like others on this list; instead, the Bois Dentelle is pretty small, but the flowers that it provides are one of a kind. The flowers are in the shapes of a bell but the petals are lacy. Imagine a piece of cloth that is frayed at the end and you’ll see what these flowers look like. They are extremely distinct and only blossom between January and March. The white flowers hang off of long branches and are often in clusters
.



dear Sirs

Thank you to the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation and the Ministry of Agriculture Division of Horticulture for grafting the tree, keeping it from becoming totally extinct.

Please invest more in research concerning this beautiful and extremely endangered tree, it is so precious.

thank you in advance
